RNA-seq of Control and PRMT5-/- JHH-7 Cell Transcriptomes

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The goals of this study are to use RNA-seq-derived JHH-7 cell transcriptome profiling for differentially expressed genes after PRMT5 knockdown. Methods: mRNA profiles of control and PRMT5 knockdown JHH-7 cells were generated by RNA-seq, using Illumina Novaseq 6000.The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with TopHat2 or HISAT2. The gene expression quantification was performed using RSEM tool and generated raw count for all genes individually. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: On average, we generated >200 million paired end reads for each sample, with more than 95% of the reads passed the QC.

Project description:The protein arginine methyl transferase PRMT5 is an enzyme expressed in oligodendrocyte lineage cells and responsible for the symmetric methylation of arginine residues on histone tails. Previous work from our laboratory identified PRMT5 as critical for myelination, due to its transcriptional regulation of survival and early stages of differentiation. However, besides its nuclear localization, PRMT5 is found at high levels in the cytoplasm of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and yet, its interacting partners and non-histone substrates in this lineage, remain elusive. By using mass spectrometry on protein eluates from extracts generated from OPC and immunoprecipitated with PRMT5 antibodies, we identified 1116 proteins as PRMT5 interacting partners. These proteins are related to molecular functions such as RNA binding, ribosomal structure, nucleotide binding, cadherin and actin binding, GTP and GTPase activity. We then investigated PRMT5 substrates using iTRAQ-based proteomics on protein samples isolated from CRISPR-PRMT5 knockdown immortalized oligodendrocyte progenitors compared to CRISPR-EGFP controls. This analysis identified 169 peptides with statistically different symmetric methylation of arginine residues in the two groups. Those peptides led to 30 unique non-histone substrates of PRMT5. The majority of these proteins were consistent with PRMT5 substrates, previously identified in distinct cancer cell lines (e.g. the transcription factor ZN326), and were functionally related to RNA processing and transport, splicing, regulation of mRNA stability and transcription. In addition, we detected three substrates as unique to the oligodendrocyte lineage and not identified in cancer cells. They included the proline-rich protein PRC2C, involved in methyl-RNA binding, the RNA binding protein KHDR2, regulating splicing events and the heterogeneous nuclear RNA binding protein HNRPD, involved in regulation of RNA stability. Together, these results highlight a cell-specific role of PRMT5 in regulating, not only transcription, but RNA processing and translation in OPCs. (287 WORDS)
